Gate of Inner Authority

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the gate not as a brick barrier but as the boundary where your inner state steps into form. When Job says he went out to the gate and prepared his seat in the street, he is describing the moment you assume a state of consciousness in which you are seen because you have already seen yourself. The I AM—your essential awareness—takes the gate as its throne, and your settled feeling of being attended to becomes the seat you occupy. The 'public' space is really the marketplace of choices, the arena where inner discernment makes itself felt as outward order. To practice this Neville-fashion, refuse to seek approval from without; instead, build the inner image of already standing in authority, calm, and beloved. As you dwell there, your world rearranges to reflect that inward posture, and the gates of your life swing open to those aligned with your state. Presence of God is not distant; it is the consciousness you activate at the gate, and unity follows when you claim that unity within.
